>Security Was Playing Hardball That Night

>Ann sent me this, and then I saw it on the news. I know that there has been trouble with people running onto the field at Phillies games, but was it really necessary to taser this guy? I mean, our old pal Matthew I’m going to puke on your daughter Clemmens was more deserving of …

Keep Your Hands, And Arms, and Poncho Inside the Car At All Times

Thanks Ann for this one, and a couple others to come. What kind of goof would wear a poncho on a really steep rollercoaster, one that drops and swings around and exposes its occupants to forces experienced by fighter pilots? I guess the same kind of weirdo who would wear a burkha on a go-cart. …

Born To Be Wild…And Wild After Death

Wow. On one level, I think the idea of a motorcycle-enthusiast’s body being posed on a motorcycle for his wake is a great one. I mean, why not be portrayed doing what you love after death? But I think I’d be a little spooked out at the funeral. There’s the guy, sitting up on his …

Making the iPhone’s Touchscreen A little More Tactile

How cool is this? Jen just sent me an article about a neat new doohicker specifically for iPhone users. It’s being made by Bernard Maldonado, ya know, Mr. Solona. Basically, it’s a tactile overlay for the iPhone! If it works the way it should, it would make more people want to be iPhoners. Heck, if …

Aaa! The Gay Dog Will Hump My Leg!

What the hell? That’s all I could manage when Ann sent me this doozer. Ian Jolly and his guide dog decided to go out to a Thai restaurant in Australia, but he was denied entry, not only because they didn’t realize his dog was a guide dog, but they had a special objection because they …

The SEC Diddled While America Burned

Ann’s been sendin’ me stuff all over the place. Thanks Ann. Here’s a scary thought for Americans. Isn’t it comforting to know that the Securities and Exchange Commission, ya know, the ones supposed to be watching over the country’s financial industry, were watching something else while the economy took an enormous crap. They were watching …

Buckbuckbuckbuckbuckbuck…What A Crock!

Thanks, Ann, for this one. republican candidate Sue Lowden of Nevada must be living under a rock to say this in all seriousness. She thinks people should barter and haggle with their doctors to pay their medical bills. The main examples of bartering she suggested were to give the doctor a chicken in exchange for …

Salt And People Shaker

I can’t stop laughing. I can’t stop laughing I can’t stop laughing I can’t stop laughing! Ok, writing that seems to have allowed me to concentrate. We thought recipes calling for henbane and 20 nutmeg nuts were bad. Now, Ann has let me know that there’s a pasta recipe book that had a recipe in …

Loose Standards On Loose Dogs

After that brief interlude of drunken stupidity, here’s another serious post. Jen sent me this, and it said we were free to circulate it, so here’s my attempt to circulate. I remember Helen McFadyen. I found her blog when I was talking about that horrible letter-writing campaign from CNIB that had Jim Sanders’s name falsely …
